My nephew has won an international award for his software development abilities, he has worked in Mongolia with starting up a scout organization (he is a good organizer), and generally performs extremely well. He has now turned 18 years old, and will start on Oxford University after summer. I consider him one of the bright minds of the future, and would definitely bet my money on that. However, he barely can afford his studies, and is a good example of one of those that can least afford to pay for health care, even though he has great potential for delivering tax money.

On the other hand, a retired couple with lots of money in the bank, have absolutely no potential for delivering income tax, but can definitely afford health care.
